Through a REVEL fundraiser, Launch Team has been able to reduce the cost of the Mt Charleston training program by $75 to the first 20 youth that sign up. For only $125, you can sign your youth up for the winter session of Launch Team to train for the REVEL Mt Charleston Half Marathon in Las Vegas.

Training will start in February. The Launch Team will rent buses/vans for travel and arrange lodging for a three day trip that culminates in running the half marathon. Volunteer coaches will travel with the group as chaperones. Parents can also sign up and join their youth on the trip and at the race.

There will be two training locations: Sugar House and Jordan River Parkway in Draper. Other locations will be added based on demand.

The program fee for the first 20 signups is only $125 and that includes:

Race entry into the REVEL Mt Charleston Half Marathon on April 28, 2017

12 week coaching program

Group training sessions twice per week

Launch Team T-shirt

Accommodations in Las Vegas for 3 days (Thursday through Saturday)

Transportation to and from Salt Lake City

The teams will meet Saturday morning and one evening during the week for training. Due to unknown winter conditions, inside trainings may be an option on bad weather days. Locations on these days will be determined as they arise.

Registration for summer Launch Team is also open now as well, which trains youth for the REVEL Big Cottonwood half marathon and has 6 locations to choose from.
